long been cultivated, and 

 almost as long a popular 

 flower, yet in no class of 

 plants have there been 

 greater Improvements 

 made In recent years. We 

 now have them of the

 of immense size, most 

 intensely double, and 

 produced in a profusion 

 scarcely equalled by any 

 other^plant. PEeonlas are 

 perfectly hardy and suc-

 except where water 

 stands near or upon the
